The arrival of the vintage and throwback trends has caused ripples throughout the entirety of the fashion industry. Jeans are getting looser. Sweaters are getting chunkier. Snapbacks have made a comeback. Everything feels like the 90s again. But there are other effects that are taking shape as well. We can see people wearing WWII inspired jackets and watches (that may just be Glenn Powell’s influence to be fair). And we can see people start to look for inspiration even farther back than our favorite 90s trends. BUGATCHI released their 2024 Fall and Winter Lookbook and one thing stands out above the rest: They embraced the neutral tones of the mid-1900s.

Embracing the vintage look

Sure, there are blues and grays, and even some loud patterns here and there. But the overall color palette of the collection has a very specific feel to it. Each and every item looks like something Don Draper would have worn in the 1960s. That doesn’t mean it is out of date. Quite the opposite in fact. The sharp winter whites contrasting with the subtle and soft fall tans and browns lends an updated aesthetic to the Mad Men colors. There are also some stellar monochromatic looks you can create with the attractive and luxurious sweaters, the contemporary suede jackets, and the accessories thrown in.

Serious Question: Why are you wearing anything OTHER than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Can a watch be a dress watch if it’s got an in-your-face design element like, say, the balance wheel visibly spinning on the dial? Christopher Ward is betting yes.

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.

Old Fitzgerald and Jonathan Adler team up for a bourbon-night backgammon set

Coffee Table, Furniture, Table

Some bourbon bottles live in the cabinet. Old Fitzgerald’s were made to live on the coffee table.

The brand’s iconic decanter debuted in the 1950s and became a fixture on well-set tables and home bars, backed by the tagline “Your Key to Hospitality.”
